My urge to be creative is so strong that sometimes I have to just leave everything and sew. Hence the kitchen is a mess, we ate factory made quiches that could be heated up in the oven (an absolute no no in this house as we have our own eggs to use up), my poor baby fell asleep in her highchair during supper as she hadn't had a nap and my ironing pile is out of control! I often wonder when I look at the blogs of 'perfect' women, who seem to have the most beautifully ordered homes and yet create the most wonderful things on a regular basis, how do they do it? Are their homes chaotic too? Are we all conspiring in the myth of the 'perfect' woman? Or is it just me? Pin It

it's called prozac, darling ;)
hahaha yes!
blimey, haven't taken mine yet today....
....thats better.
Gorgeous crafty things as usual Donna, you are very creative.
Yes Donna, its just you. You are the only perfect one. Chaotic homes, bought quiche and piles of ironing (? whats that?) don't count as imperfections. :O)
We're all crumbling in the chaos darling...no one is perfect and a perfect home is boring.. nothing wrong with factory quiche girl..just don't do it again ! tehehe.. but yes Roxys right women who can do it all must be on prozac!!
they are all boring
not letty and clammy, the tidy people

I have a magnet on my fridge that reads 'Dull women have immaculate houses' It's good to have that reminder! Makes me feel better when I look around at the chaos!
LOVE the fabric that you have used for the Christmas stocking BTW.

Love your stocking and the blog! Tidy houses are sooooooo boring! Our looks like a bomb has hit it at the mo due to the dining room table turning in to a mini packing station for all the deliveries going out!!!
Think I'll link to your site if that's ok?

Oh Donna - who is the perfect woman?
I think any creative urge is much better attended to than housework and whipping up farm fresh food. Sometimes you MUST be disordered.
Love that stocking.
I'm sure I'm not one of those "perfect" bloggers you're talking about, but yes, my house is a mess too!
Hiya Dons,

Hi Donna,
Have sent you the e-mail again to your vintage fabrics e-mail - hope you get it ok. If not give me a call tomorrow, our number is on the website.

Hi Donna,
I'm glad that you were happy with your Christmas swap! I had fun putting it together. I only wish that I had some vintage fabrics that I could have sent to you too! I'm sorry that one of the Christmas ornaments was broken, I should have double wrapped it.
After I sent the pacakage, I realized that I hadn't included my name in there! Sorry about that.
It's funny, originally I was going to make one of those soft trees for you. But then I saw your post about making some for yourself on Alison's blog (so tread softly) so I had to go to plan B. The little dress can hang, or it displays very nicely over a hat stand too.
Bye for now, Carol
can totaly relate! I think we all take on too much most days...!! I cant believe most blogs are taht perfect haha they cant be!!
i love the stocking you made...gorgeous!
